Alan Komissaroff, the senior vice president at Fox News Media, died at 47. The journalist passed away just two weeks after suffering a heart attack. Netizens have since taken to social media speculating that his death was from the Covid vaccine.
In a GoFundMe, Alan Komissaroff’s wife, Rachael, revealed that she called 911, and he sadly died while the paramedics were taking him to the hospital. The campaign revealed that he slipped into a coma and never woke up again.
Alan Komissaroff joined the news outlet in 1996 when it launched under the company name 21st Century Fox Corp. He worked his way to the top and oversaw the coverage of politics, including the network’s busy Election Night reporting.
Suzanne Scott and Jay Wallace, Fox News Media’s CEO and president of news, released a statement following the death of the journalist. They said:
“This is an extremely difficult day for all of us who worked closely with Alan, and we are completely heartbroken. Alan was a leader and mentor throughout Fox News Media who was integral to our daily news operations and played an indispensable role in every election cycle.”
They revealed that Komissaroff played a key role in the midterm election coverage. They described the celebrated journalist as the “ultimate producer” and stated they did not know anyone else who was as steady or trusted to be in the control room during the organization’s most critical nights.
